As with the a lot of Port of Morrow, I've worked this out in about 20 minutes just playing and listening to the song. The rhythm is easy enough, and I've tried to line up the chords as best I can with (what I believe to be) the lyrics. As always, works best listening to the song! These should all be played in barre chord form. The F#m should definitely be played up at the 9th fret, sounds much better that way! I wasn't really sure about the instrumental break, with the sounds and bass over it. Hope it all makes sense and helps you play - or at least attain a closer version of - this song! :D UPDATE: Watching it live, there are a few changes. A Bm in the chorus, and it appears that James Mercer only plays Bm and E throughout the break. Intro A C#m x 4
